grcenter47 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/nhler-ryane-clowe-s-father-charged-in-wake-of-cocaine-probe-1.2860376?cmp=rss The father of Newfoundland-born NHL player Ryane Clowe is among those charged in the wake of a police investigation targeting "high-level" cocaine trafficking in the St. John's area. Anthony Clowe, 51, of Paradise is charged with money laundering and possessing property obtained by crime. His case was called at Newfoundland and Labrador provincial court in St. John’s on Wednesday morning. Defence lawyer Randy Piercey declined comment on behalf of his client. Ryane Clowe, a forward with the New Jersey Devils, is not implicated in the Operation Battalion probe, and does not face any charges. The charges against Anthony Clowe stem from a six-month Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit-Newfoundland & Labrador (CFSEU-NL) investigation. Police in Montreal and Vancouver also assisted in the probe. Operation Battalion was a six-month operation that targeted high-level cocaine traffickers in the St. John's area. (Courtesy RCMP) In March, according to an RCMP release, police executed search warrants at St. John's International Airport, Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport in Montreal, and residences and vehicles in the St. John's area. Police say they seized: Nearly $350,000 in cash. Cocaine. A loaded 9-mm prohibited handgun. Ammunition. Brass knuckles. A stun gun. A 2012 Toyota Tundra. Kurt Churchill of Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s and Leroy Thomas of St. John's were also charged with numerous offences, including conspiracy to traffic in cocaine and weapons offences. In April, as part of the same investigation, a half-dozen others were charged for their roles in planning and staging a fake car accident. Anthony Clowe was not referenced in initial press releases about Operation Battalion, although police noted at the time that their investigation was ongoing and more charges were expected. He was charged in June, on the same information that listed charges against Churchill and Thomas. Proceedings in all of the Operation Battalion-related cases have been set over until Jan. 9, to give the defence time to review the Crown’s disclosure packages, which include wiretap evidence.

Neb00rs Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) When asked for comment about his father, Ryane Clowe responded "I don't remember, everything's a little fuzzy. Who's my father again? And who's Ryane Clowe?" Edited December 4, 2014 by Neb00rs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLL765 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 If I'm doing my math right, Ryane's father was only 19 when he was born. Seems like it'd be tough for a young parent to pay for their kid to play high level hockey, though I guess it's easier when you live somewhere with easy access to outdoor rinks/frozen ponds.

ATLL765 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Anyone know if cocaine helps ease concussions? Honestly, it probably would help alleviate symptoms. It's a vasoconstrictor so I imagine it would help with headaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William D'Aquila Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) You do realize this is a running joke, right? DM, Sundstrom, Triumph, Lazer, and Carp are all in on it. http://njdevs.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=134252&p=1292785 If i wanted to make a political statement about Eric Garner, I would be a great deal less opaque. I do find it a tad disheartening that Gomez's Colombian heritage is up for ridicule. Hopefully snide racist remarks will be addressed by the current administration.

Go back to stroking it to your dreams of Lou trading a non-claimed Brunner and Gelinas for Blake Wheeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else would you deal with growing up in Anchorage? If you're sending me up to Alaska, you better have a few grams of blow waiting for me.
